Hi again

I managed to do some good work on it, so I can moge a bit on...

I still would like to have the beatport track ID in the tracknumber but also the "catalog #" tag  
If posible to recup the beatport id from the filename (first part as default by beatport).  
I now first put the id in the "catalog #" tag and let the script read that tag.  
Please not that I changed the & when having 2 artists (or more) in a semicolomn.  
This is more appropriate because some softs like WMP wil then be able to classify this tracks at both artists..

It would be nice I could use this scipt to automatiacly fetch data for x number of tracks.  
Now i need to to 1 at a time ☹

Very much tanks if you wanna look into this.  
I'm very much sure people will apprciate this.
